yeah but also
That's like 30% of the problem. Russia has trains everywhere. The rest is just that Henry Ford set up his factories along the border, and we've leaned hard into car-centric development ever since. (Well, actually, we might be turning a corner now, but it's slow)
i wouldn't say all over russia
Yeah only where >95% of people live. And if we can't get AT LEAST 100% why even try, right?
If you look at the road system in Canada, it's the same pattern, basically. There's a few dirt "highways" that stretch into the northwest, and absolutely nothing connecting the northeast. All the agriculture and so all the sizeable cities are in the south.
Actually, Russia has a lot more going on up there. As you can see the Russian homeland stretches pretty continuously up, and even in the colonial areas further east, they have mid-sized arctic city Norilsk (that disconnected bit of red). The best we can do is Yellowknife at 10,000.
Hi, yes, unrelated question, but if I upgrade to Canada+ what are some of the benefits?
Less advertisements, and the opportunity to upgrade further to one of our many confusing premium packages. Duh. /s
Everyone lives on the bottom line though.
